Abstract
The Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists was established in 1970 as a Section of SEG. It has since grown to a membership of more than 1300, of which just under a quarter live outside of Australia. Unlike SEG and EAGE, both heavily populated by oil and gas explorationists, a high percentage of ASEG's membership is mineral-oriented. This difference has more to do with history and less to do with geology. Australia's first successful oil well was not drilled until 1953, whereas gold was discovered just over 100 years earlier in 1851. Consequently, one of the earliest applications of geophysical methods to exploration in Australia, carried out by the Imperial Experimental Geophysical Survey in 1928, was aimed at mineral exploration.
